A man says he complained to the owners of a cafe after a customer changed their baby's dirty nappy on a bench next to him while he was eating.
Taking to Reddit, the man asked whether this was normal etiquette for parents, or whether he should have expected the staff to do something, reports The Mirror.
He explained: "Went to a cafe I've been to lots of times before. As I walked in there were a bunch of ladies with a couple of toddlers generally being in the way and oblivious to me and other customers."
One of the women then "took the toddler over to one of the benches next to a table and changed the nappy".
He continued: "The smell of s**t was wafting across the cafe just as my main course arrived."
The man message the cafe after he left, adding: "I appreciated they couldn't control their customers' actions, but having people changing babies on seating next to food tables wasn’t going to encourage people to eat there in future, and the staff didn't seem bothered about any of this.
"I got a polite reply saying this happened quite frequently as the toilet was too small to change a nappy."
People agreed with the man, saying: "No, not acceptable. Not in any eatery."
Another said: "I'd imagine health and safety would have something to say about that. Especially in a food serving environment."
A third added: "As a parent, I would never have dreamed of changing either of my children in a cafe or restaurant at a table, that's just downright rude to everyone else, let alone being unsanitary."
